2. Description of Related Art

In a memory storage apparatus, such as a non-volatile memory apparatus, a signal transmission interface between the memory storage apparatus and a memory controller is mainly used for performing a clock-based signal transmitting operation. Thereby, the signal transmitting operation between the memory storage apparatus and the memory controller can be more smoothly leveraging clock dependency. Moreover, for costs reduction and less pin count in chip packaging, the memory storage apparatus is required to perform signal transmitting operation with the memory controller on clock basis.

Along with the development of memory storage apparatus and requirements from users, the clock rate is developed to be faster and faster. Nevertheless, if the reading speed of the memory storage apparatus can not be enhanced accordingly, the development of the clock rate is likely to encounter bottleneck. In existing technology, much time is needed when performing a pre-charge operation to bit lines in order to complete the reading operation; and it thus can be seen that the development of the clock rate is to be limited if the reading speed fails to be enhanced.

Each of the memory cells is coupled to the corresponding word line and the corresponding bit line. The memory controller is configured to perform a read operation to the memory cell array.

Suitable combinations among the embodiments are also allowed. The term “coupled to” used throughout the embodiments (including claims) may refer to any direct and indirect connection means. For example, if a first device is described as being coupled to a second device in the embodiments, the sentence should be explained as the first device may be connected to the second device directly, or the first device may, through any other device or through certain connection means, be connected to the second device indirectly. In addition, the word “signal” may refer to at least one current, voltage, electric charge, temperature, data, electromagnetic wave, or any other signal or signals.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a memory storage apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram illustrating the combination of the bit lines and the channel gate transistors of FIG. 1 and including a plurality of pre-charge paths. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a memory storage apparatus 100 provided by the present embodiment includes a plurality of word lines WL, a plurality of bit lines BL, a memory cell array 110, a memory controller 120, a word line decoder 130, and a bit line decoder 140. In the present embodiment, the memory cell array 110 includes a plurality of memory cells 112. The memory cells 112 are configured to store data. Each of the memory cells 112 is coupled to the corresponding word line WL and the corresponding bit line BL. The memory controller 120 is configured to perform a read operation to the memory cell array 110. In the present embodiment, the memory controller 120 receives and decodes a sector signal S, so as to accordingly select a target sector in the memory cell array 110 for performing the read operation.

In the present embodiment, the memory storage apparatus 100 may include other suitable circuits configured to collaboratively control data access, for example, a sector decoder and a sensing amplifier circuit. In the present embodiment, various circuits of the memory storage apparatus 100 may respectively be implemented by any one of suitable circuit structures in the art, and the invention is not limited thereto. People having ordinary skill in the art may acquire sufficient teachings, suggestions, and other details related to the circuit structures and operating methods.

Generally, when the memory controller 120 performs the read operation to the memory cell array 110, the process can be divided into several steps most of the time, for example, including a command input, a word line address input, and a bit line address input steps. After the memory controller 120 performs the read operation to the memory cell array 110, data stored in the memory cell array 112 can be sequentially read out. The bit line address input step includes a pre-charge operation, a sensing operation, and a data output operation most of the time.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, when the memory controller 120 performs the pre-charge operation to the memory cell array 110, the memory controller 120 controls the bit line decoder 140 to decode bit line address signals YSC<3:0>, YSB<3:0>, and YSA<3:0>, so as to select a target bit line and perform the pre-charge operation. In the present embodiment, the bit lines BL include a plurality of local bit lines LBL and a plurality of global bit lines GBL. Data lines include a plurality of local data lines LDL and a plurality of global data lines GDL. Channel gate transistors 200 are disposed on each of the bit lines and the data lines. In the present embodiment, the memory controller 120 chooses to turn on or turn off the channel gate transistors 200 through a hierarchical method, so as to select the target bit line to be pre-charged. For example, in the present embodiment, the bit line address signals YSC<3:0>, YSB<3:0>, and YSA<3:0> are, for example, decoded in sequence. Thereby, the channel gate transistor (e.g., the transistor controlled by the bit line address signal YSC[0]) controlled by the bit line address signal YSC<3:0> may be turned on or turned off. Next, the channel gate transistors (e.g., the transistors controlled by the bit line address signals YSB[0], YSB[1], YSB[2], and YSB[3]) controlled by the bit line address signal YSB<3:0> may be turned on or turned off. Afterwards, the channel gate transistors (e.g., the transistors controlled by the bit line address signals YSA[0], YSA[1], YSA[2], and YSA[3]) controlled by the bit line address signal YSA<3:0> may be turned on or turned off. Thereby, when being decoded through the foregoing sequence, the corresponding channel gate transistors are turned on. As such, pre-charge paths of the global data lines GDL, the local data lines LDL, the global bit lines GBL, and the local bit lines LBL can be established, and the target bit line to be pre-charged can be selected. The target bit line is, for example, any one of the local bit lines LBL. In an embodiment, another hierarchical method includes that, for example, the bit line address signals YSA<3:0>, YSB<3:0>, and YSC<3:0> are decoded in sequence. Thereby, the channel gate transistors 200 are turned on from the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, and the local data lines LDL in sequence, and that the pre-charge paths are established. After the pre-charge paths are established, the target bit line is charged. Thereby, when the data is read, a cell current may establish a preset voltage, to be compared with a reference voltage, at an input terminal of the sensing amplifier circuit (not shown), and that the sensing amplifier circuit can determine whether the data stored by the cell is bit 0 or bit 1.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, numbers and locations of the word lines, the bit lines, the data lines, the memory cells, and the channel gate transistors are mere exemplary and should not be construed as limitations of the invention.

Generally, regardless of the hierarchical methods, when the bit line address signals are decoded, the pre-charge operation requires much time, a reading speed of the memory storage apparatus 100 is thus limited. Thereby, in the present embodiment, when the memory controller 120 enables the word lines WL, or when the memory controller 120 decodes the sector signal, the memory controller 120 first performs the pre-charge operation to part or all of the bit lines for reducing a pre-charge time of the bit lines when decoding the bit line address signals, so as to enhance the reading speed of the memory storage apparatus 100. Several embodiments are described below to illustrate the operating method of the memory storage apparatus of the invention.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic timing diagram of each of signals when a memory storage apparatus performs a read operation according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring from FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, signals illustrated in FIG. 3 include a clock signal CLK, an input signal DI, and an output signal DO. In the present embodiment, the memory controller 120 receives a read command to perform a read operation to the memory cell array 110.

In the present embodiment, in a decoding period T1, the memory controller 120 decodes the sector signal S (e.g., including sector addresses Aa and Ab), so as to obtain an address of the target sector and to select the target sector to perform the read operation in the memory cell array 110. In a decoding period T2, the memory controller 120 controls the word line decoder 130 to decode word line addresses Ac and Ad for selecting a target word line. A decoding period T3 includes decoding periods T4 and T5. In the decoding period T4, the memory controller 120 controls the bit line decoder 140 to decode bit line addresses Ae and Af for selecting a target bit line. During the decoding period T5, the memory controller 120 decodes a sensor address Ag for selecting a target sensor to sense the cell current, so as to determine a bit status of data stored by the cell.

In the present embodiment, the memory controller 120 begins to perform the pre-charge operation to all of the bit lines at a starting time point t_Y-Line and completes the pre-charge operation when the decoding period T2 ends, and thereby, a first pre-charge period tPRE_1 includes the decoding periods T1 and T2. In other words, in the present embodiment, when decoding the sector signal S and enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously performs the pre-charge operation to the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL. Next, in a second pre-charge period tPRE_2, according to decoding results of the bit line addresses Ae and Af, a non-selected bit line and data lines are discharged, and a voltage of a selected bit line (e.g., a target local bit line) is kept unchanged and driven before a sensing period. Thereby, in the decoding periods T1 and T2, the pre-charge operation is first performed to all of the bit lines, and thus, a time period of the second pre-charge period tPRE_2 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

In the present embodiment, when decoding the sector signal S and enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously performs the pre-charge operation to all of the bit lines, but the invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment, in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1, the memory controller 120 performs the pre-charge operation to, for example, part of the bit lines. For example, when decoding the sector signal S and enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously pre-charges the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL. In other words, except for the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL are pre-charged in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1. Thereby, in the decoding periods T1 and T2, the pre-charge operation is first performed to part of the bit lines except for the local bit lines LBL, and thus, the time period of the second pre-charge period tPRE_2 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

FIG. 4 illustrates a schematic timing diagram of each of signals when a memory storage apparatus performs a read operation according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4, a pre-charge operating method of the present embodiment is similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 3, a difference therebetween includes that, for example, when enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously performs the pre-charge operation to all of the bit lines.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the memory controller 120 begins to perform the pre-charge operation to all of the bit lines at the starting time point t_Y-Line and completes the pre-charge operation when the decoding period T2 ends, and thereby, the first pre-charge period tPRE_1 includes the decoding period T2. In other words, in the present embodiment, when enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously performs the pre-charge operation to the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL. Next, in the second pre-charge period tPRE_2, according to the decoding results of the bit line addresses Ae and Af, the non-selected bit line and data lines are discharged, and the voltage of the selected bit line (e.g., the target local bit line) is kept unchanged and driven before the sensing period. Thereby, the pre-charge operation is first performed to all of the bit lines when the word lines WL are simultaneously enabled (the decoding period T2), and thus, the time period of the second pre-charge period tPRE_2 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

In the present embodiment, when enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously performs the pre-charge operation to all of the bit lines, but the invention is not limited thereto. In an embodiment, in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1, the memory controller 120 performs the pre-charge operation to, for example, part of the bit lines. For example, when enabling the word lines WL, the memory controller 120 simultaneously pre-charges the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL. In other words, except for the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL are pre-charged in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1. Thereby, the pre-charge operation is first performed to part of the bit lines except for the local bit lines LBL when the word lines WL are simultaneously enabled (the decoding period T2), and thus, the time period of the second pre-charge period tPRE_2 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic timing diagram of each of signals when a memory storage apparatus performs a read operation according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, except for the local data lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL are pre-charged in the decoding periods T1 and T2. Moreover, in the decoding period T2, the local bit lines LBL are isolated. For example, in the present embodiment, when the word lines WL are enabled (in the decoding period T2), the channel gate transistor controlled by the bit line address signal YSA<3:0> is, for example, turned off, so as to isolate signal lines such as the local bit lines LBL and the global bit lines GBL. Next, in a third pre-charge period tPRE_3, the non-selected bit line and the data lines are discharged, and in a fourth pre-charge period tPRE_4, the selected bit line (e.g., the target local bit line) is pre-charged.

Thereby, in the present embodiment, in the decoding periods T1 and T2, the pre-charge operation is first performed to part of the bit lines except for the local bit lines LBL, and thus, a total time period of the third pre-charge period tPRE_3 and the fourth pre-charge period tPRE_4 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic timing diagram of each of signals when a memory storage apparatus performs a read operation according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 6, a pre-charge operating method of the present embodiment is similar to that of the embodiment of FIG. 5, a difference therebetween includes that, for example, the memory controller 120 performs the pre-charge operation to part of the bit lines in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the first pre-charge period tPRE_1 includes the decoding period T1 and part of the adjacent decoding period T2.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, except for the local bit lines LBL, the global bit lines GBL, the local data lines LDL, and the global data lines GDL are pre-charged in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1. Moreover, in the second pre-charge period tPRE_2, the local bit lines LBL are isolated. Here, the second pre-charge period tPRE_2 includes another part of the decoding period T2. For example, in the present embodiment, when the word lines WL are enabled (in the second pre-charge period tPRE_2), the channel gate transistor controlled by the bit line address signal YSA<3:0> is, for example, turned off, so as to isolate the signal lines such as the local bit lines LBL and the global bit lines GBL. Next, in the third pre-charge period tPRE_3, the non-selected bit line and the data lines are discharged, and in the fourth pre-charge period tPRE_4, the selected bit line (e.g., the target local bit line) is pre-charged.

Thereby, in the present embodiment, the pre-charge operation is first performed to part of the bit lines except for the local bit lines LBL in the first pre-charge period tPRE_1, and thus, the total time period of the third pre-charge period tPRE_3 and the fourth pre-charge period tPRE_4 is reduced and the reading speed is increased compared to existing technology.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a pre-charge circuit according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, a pre-charge circuit 700 includes a plurality of channel gate transistor circuits 710_1 and 710_2 to 710_N, a plurality of sensing amplifier circuits 720_1 and 720_2 to 720_N, and a pre-charge transistor circuit 730, and N is a positive integer greater than 2. In the present embodiment, each of the channel gate transistor circuits is controlled by the address signals YSA, YSB, and YSC and includes a plurality of the channel gate transistors 200. When transistors in the channel gate transistor circuits are turned on, the pre-charge path can be established, and thereby, the cell current can flow from the pre-charge circuit path to the corresponding bit line.

In the present embodiment, the pre-charge transistor circuit 730 includes a first transistor 731 and a second transistor 732. A first terminal of the first transistor 731 is coupled to a system voltage VCC. A second terminal of the first transistor 731 is coupled to a second terminal of the second transistor 732. A control terminal of the first transistor 731 is coupled to a pre-charge signal Vpre. The second terminal of the second transistor 732 is coupled to the corresponding channel gate transistor circuit. A control terminal of the second transistor 732 is coupled to a voltage signal. In the present embodiment, in the decoding period T3, the pre-charge signal Vpre is configured to cut off the pre-charge path. A voltage signal Vb is a specific voltage configured to limit a source terminal of the second transistor 732 to a charge potential of the bit lines. In an embodiment, the pre-charge transistor circuit 730 can be implemented in a sensing amplifier circuit as well, which should not be construed as a limitation to the invention.
